How much was your first handgun?

[TScottTX]

My first handgun was a Bauer .25acp for which I paid $90. I can tell you that "you get what you pay for" is true in that the little *&^% blew up on me. Quality counts and when a life depends on it a little extra cash up front goes a long way.

 

[45acp223]

Handgun: Browning Buckmark $139.

Rifle: Remington Nylon 66 $75 used (saw one the other day hangin' at a gun store for $399.

 

[STEEL CORE]

Colt Combat Commander $360 anib 1980.

 

[Lawn Racer]

glock 19c $400 with two mags.

I had a Star 380. The sport thumb riser is what made me choose it, as my hand actually fit the grip. Loved that gun.
One that I wish I hadn't sold, but I got a Bersa to replace it, and it is a pretty good comparison.
Paid $250 for the Star, $280 for the Bersa.

Glock 17 Gen 2 for $400

 

[JollyMon]

Sig P6 for $250

 

[Sonick]

$299. Smith & Wesson Sigma PVE 9mm. Biggest mistake I ever made. Had it long enough to go to the range once and sold it and bought a glock.

Back in the early 80,s bought a Jennings 22 for under $100. Learned you get what you pay for. Wore out fast.

[clfergus]

First gun was a surplus bulgarian makarov 9X18. Nice little gun. Paid about 100.00 for it. I could never find ammo for it so i sold it for my first Glock....never looked back

[Mlyeager]

I actually made my first! It was a kit my dad bought for me...Kentucky .45 black powder. And, being a stupid kid, I'd increase the amount powder (disregarding the rec measurement) to get a bigger bang and muzzle flash. Lucky the damn thing didn't blow up in my hand!

 

[nineball481]

Taurus PT140 Millennium Pro .40 Bought at a gun show used for $350
I still use it for EDC. It's small, holds 10+1, and is reliable.

 

[Jordan]

$354 I believe for a PT 24/7. Held on to it (despite its flaws) for several years before trading it back to the store I got it from for my FNP 45 which I intended to keep until the bitter end.

2 tone m&p ~$529
